Harrison Boe - Waiting to Die

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2001361
So cynical, always so proud of how little we cared
When they said that the sky's coming down
I'm not sure youth is wasted on you but if it is
It was certainly wasted on us, wasted on me
Now i'm terrified i'll wake up unable to breathe

'cause i felt every bone in your hand
And our two skeletons breathing with no kind of plan
I'll remember us drunk, cold, warm, high
And the first few hours where i wasn't just waiting to die
Oh i wasn't just waiting to die
For the very first time in my life
Oh i wasn't just waiting to die

So when the sun starts caving in
I'm surе i'll finally figure out where to bеgin
Stay alive, can't stay a ghost
Now that it's crickle i can see you tomorrow
It all used to mean nothing
Now every second with you makes the whole world mean something

And i felt every bone in your hand
Our two skeletons breathing with no kind of plan
I'll remember us drunk, cold, warm, high
And the first few hours where i wasn't just waiting to die
Oh i wasn't just waiting to die
For the very first time in my life
Oh i wasn't just waiting to die
Oh i stared into the void in your eyes
Ran through (?) to cover
Oh and i finally understand why
Some (?) are greater than others

I felt every bone in your hand
Our two skeletons breathing with no kind of plan
I'll remember us drunk, cold, warm, high
And the first few hours where i wasn't just waiting to die
Oh i wasn't just waiting to die
For the very first time in my life
Oh i wasn't just waiting to die
